It is known by those skilled in the bakers art 1. In combination, a machine having legs, a that edible oils are combined with dough or placed tray having a bottom and outer edge walls and thereon prior to pressing and cutting the dough being adapted to receive two of said legs in the so that the dough will not adhere to the press forward portion therein to rest on the bottom of 35 after having been pressed and cut into predethe tray and hold it infixed position under the termined sized pieces in the dough pressing commachine; a passageway in one of said walls; a partment of said machine. The oils act in part drawer removably slideable thru said passageas a lubricant for the dough to prevent said a'dway; said drawer and tray adapted toreceive 40 herence. Said oils have been heretofore largely drip oil from said machine whereby removal of 40 wasted because they dripped onto the floor and the drawer leaves the tray fixed to receive drip were lost or as they dripped down through the oil from the machine. machine into a base pan no provision was made 2.

The pan I0 has side walls I06 and may oil from the machine. 55

3. In combination, a machine having legs, and a tray having a bottom and integral outer edge walls, said tray being adapted to receive two of said legs in the forward portion thereof to thus hold the tray in fixed position under the machine, a passageway in one of said walls, a drawer removably slideable thru said passageway, two intermediate walls extending from the front to the back walls of said tray, to form an intermediate compartment for said drawer, an outer compartment on each side of the drawer compartment, said drawer and tray adapted to receive therein drip-oil from said machine, and a filter in said drawer to filter said oil as it is poured out of said drawer, said outer compartments adapted to receive matter which may drop therein from said machine whereby removal of the drawer leaves the tray fixed to receive drip oil from the machine.

4. The device of claim 3 characterized by the fact that the tray has an overlying screen'for at least one of said compartments.

5. In combination, a machine having legs and a tray therefor having a bottom and integral outer edge walls, said tray being adapted to receive two of said legs in the forward portion thereof to thus hold the tray in fixed position under the machine, a passageway in one of said walls, a drawer removably slideable thru said passageway, said drawer and tray adapted to receive therein drip-oil from said machine, and a filter in said drawer to filter said oil as it is poured out of said drawer, and a handle for said drawer whereby removal of the drawer leaves the tray fixed to receive drip oil from the machine.

6. In combination, a portable machine having two forward legs and rear turnable means to facilitate wheeling movement and tilting of the machine, a tray having a bottom and outer edge walls and being adapted to receive said legs in the forward portion therein to rest on the bottom of the tray and hold it in fixed position under the machine, a passageway in one of said walls, a drawer removable from said tray and slideable thru said passageway, said drawer and tray adapted to separately receive drip oil from said machine, whereby the machine may be moved independent of the tray and the tray may be removably fixed under the legs when the machine is tilted, and removal of the drawer leaves the tray fixed to alone receive drip oil from the machine;
